    What are you trying to ask? Do you want to know what 35% depreciation is on 70000 over year?

    Are these figures right? How can machines that cost £125,000 be depreciated by £900,000?/£55,000 and depreciated by £500,000?

    You say the depreciation method is reducing line, do you mean reducing balance or straight line?

    And you say depreciated by 50,000 for 4,000, what is the 4000?!

    hi Gem
    thanks for your help
    4000 is what the machine costing 55000 had been sold for
    but it had already been depreciated by 50,000
    the company uses reducing balance method.
    I guess im asking about double entry more than any thing.

    You would need to set up a disposals account, debit the account with the cost of the original machine (55,000) and credit machine at cost account. Credit disposals account with the 4,000 and debit the bank and credit the disposals with 50,000 for depreciation and debit depreciation account. You will then have 1,000 outstanding which will be debited (I think) to profit and loss account as a loss on disposal.
